The proposed $70 million Lakeside Center would be built in Prospect Park to replace its current Wollman Rink. The facility will be designed by architects Tod Williams and Billie Tsien and be a two-level 36,000-square-foot building. It will include two ice-skating rinks and do extensive work to restore the original park landscape torn up when Robert Moses built the current rink. The current renderings are described as “very preliminary designs” there will be a series of public meetings before there’s a final version.
